L'Association des Églises Missionnaire Baptiste Landmark du Québec (or the Landmark Missionary Baptist Association of Quebec) is a local association of French-speaking Landmark Missionary Baptists in Quebec.
In 2000, this association was composed of 4 churches with 201 members. These churches also affiliate with the Interstate & Foreign Landmark Missionary Baptist Association of America, based largely in the southern parts of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. In addition to these 4 churches, 6 other churches in Quebec participate in the Interstate & Foreign Association, and are in fellowship with the churches of l'Association des Églises Missionnaire Baptiste Landmark. This makes a total of 10 French-speaking Landmark Baptist churches in Quebec with 531 members.
L'Association des Églises Missionnaire Baptiste Landmark holds a general faith and practice in common with Landmark Missionary Baptists in the United States, and, like the Interstate & Foreign Association, believe pastoral support should be by free will offerings and observe the rite of feet washing.

“They throw in Drummer Hodge, to rest
Uncoffined—just as found:
His landmark is a kopje-crest
That breaks the veldt around;”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“We crossed a deep and wide bay which makes eastward north of Kineo, leaving an island on our left, and keeping to the eastern side of the lake. This way or that led to some Tomhegan or Socatarian stream, up which the Indian had hunted, and whither I longed to go. The last name, however, had a bogus sound, too much like sectarian for me, as if a missionary had tampered with it; but I knew that the Indians were very liberal. I think I should have inclined to the Tomhegan first.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You should approach Joyce’s Ulysses as the illiterate Baptist preacher approaches the Old Testament: with faith.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no political party. We never have inquired what anybody’s religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, “Do you believe in perfect equality for women?” This is the one article in our creed.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
